Kyle says: “Everyday you get triggers and traumas stuck in your head, and you’re hearing all of these horrible stories.
“You want to hear it, but at the same time you’re thinking ‘I’m here to help myself, but I’ve got to hear everyone else’s story’.
“It’s quite hard to hear, and I was thinking that a lot of these people were worse off than me.”
